The torment from within is
Unbearable, words I say
Mean nothing, my actions
Are worthless, my emotions
Intoxicated by anger.

I feel my heart bleed,
I am alone. In this abyss,
With all the hope I put
To the ones I love, but
I ask myself why they
Hate me.

Even though I cry on
My knees, I am shackled
And bound by those who I
Thought would protect me,
In this gruesome world I
Fear the worst.

But hope stands strong
Beside me, even though
Tens of thousands my
Enemies strike me when
I am wounded, I will not
Stop. I will not plead
For mercy, I will not
Give up.

I will rise, I will stand,
I will fight, I will win,
I will carry my wounded
Heart, for I know pain is
Temporary, unfazed by fear,
My undisputed victory is
Near.
